chimp in a strange position

This poor monkey, tipped over like that on a closed museum display reminds me of how much life natural history 'objects' have and how it is ignored most of the times... This monkey was set in a specific position by its taxidermist maker. Holding a branch like 'as if' it were on the jungle. Opening his mouth 'as if' he's about to say/yell something at the visitor. This is an impressive mount. Correction, this was an impressive mount. It just can't be left at ground level inside the display! Losing all its impressive power on the direct 'regard' to the visitor this is now just an old mount of a monkey tilted back in its own support. Or is it?
